I finally broke down and watched this last night and I gotta say... I liked it. I didnt really find it that disturbing The only part I thought was really nasty was after the guy eats(if you've seen it you dont need me to say what happens) Dieter Laser as Dr. Heiter was brilliant and the one thing, IMO, that kept the movie from being a ridiculous piece of crap.

There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far~ ruminations

Comcast is offering this one right this minute as an On Demand selection.It does look disgusting and worthless (same goes for Comcast), but I'm oddly intrigued...

Say no more about Comcast. My mom has it and it's overpriced, and you have to practically put it in a blender for their tech support folks to understand what you're saying when a problem comes up. I'm a DirecTV man myself.

Dieter Laser as Dr. Heiter was brilliant and the one thing, IMO, that kept the movie from being a ridiculous piece of crap.

When I think of the best parts of the movie, they all involve Heiter, and nearly all involve a great line delivery by Laser.

"You are....the middle piece!"

"Feed her! Swallow it, b**ch!"

"Eye for eye. Tooth for tooth."

And of course, the slide show, Heiter begging for a good night's sleep, and the dog training scenes.

Laser just made that movie. That's why I'm a little wary of the sequel, with Heiter dead and Tom Sixx promising to pull out all the stops, in terms of gross and disturbing. I'm expecting something more overtly campy, in the vein of Reanimator, but unless Laser is involved, it's not necessarily going to have what made the first movie work for me.

I caught this last night on Projet-free-tv, basically a Frankenstein for the gross-out audience. It was less gross-out, however, than disturbing, and while "medically accurate" the whole concept is doomed as many posters have pointed out. Do-do is a waste product, and therefore contains little nutrients, and Hellooo: E Coli, Doctor Mengele! I haven't read much about the sequel, except that the centipede has a 12-segmented concept.

OK, OK, I FINALLY broke down and saw this movie. Of course, reading this thread had given away all the key points in the plot, but it was still a deeply disturbing, sick, and at the same time oddly enjoyable experience. No matter how bad my own personal problems might be, I don't have nearly as much wrong with me as whoever came up with THIS concept!

I was surprised it wasn't as gory or gross as I thought it would be,but it was creepy(just the thought of what the dr. was doing) and suspenseful.I'd rather watch this than all of those SAW sequels..I hear the director of this is planning on making a sequel..Have to wait and see..

hello everyone! i have to say that i love this movie! i really do! ill admit the reason that i wanted to watch it was ATM thing. it really sounds disgusting, how could someone make a movie about that?!! but, its really nowhere near as gory or deprived as you would think. thats what i like about the movie, its the idea thats so freakin disturbing. though there are some scenes that are stomach turning. this movie really gets a reaction out of people, most refuse to watch it. theres really not much to the movie, just kind of a cheap thrill. i thought the doctor was perfect for the role he played, and the ending was really sad and brilliant because it took its time. hearing that girl whimper and cry as the camara zoomed out was one the most messed up endings i have scene. what a horrible way to go. well, thats my opion. ill admit that it is a horrible movie. but not for the reason everyone thinks.
